IJmuiden

Easy access to Holland's marque destinations                        and undiscovered local tourist gemstones.

The port of IJmuiden is part of the municipality of Velsen and is situated along the North Sea canal estuary, which discharges into the sea through enormous locks.           The community can look back on a very rich history, reflected in its landscape and architectural variety, which combines the peace of wide beaches and dune landscapes with historic country estates, woods and the hustle and bustle of a fishing port, fish market and local industry.

With its unique location and excellent infrastructure and facilities, this versatile town offers a wide scope of local recreational activities, cultural sites and a convenient and quick access to a fast range of top hinterland marquee destinations.

Cruise ships moor at the berths of the Felison Terminal, which are conveniently located on the seaward side of the locks. The elegant terminal is able to harbour cruise vessel up to 295 meters, granting time saving access to the dynamic city of Amsterdam, which is only 30-45 minutes away.
                                                                            With close access to Schiphol Airport, the Felison Terminal provides the ideal starting point for cruises to the Baltic,  Noway’s Fjords and North Cape, as well as, the UK Isles and the Atlantic West Coast.
